Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller's high-quality build, excellent battery life, and comfortable grip. Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight. However, customers are negative about the prevalence of stick drift issues reported by some users, as well as concerns about the durability of certain buttons and bumpers. The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

    This controller replaced a white one we had that broke. My son still uses this controller every time he plays his game. I don't know too much about gaming but my son speaks highly of this controller. BUY THE WARRANTY!

    Possibly best controller ever

    I going to go ahead & give this item a good review, this is my second one. First one was great & then out of no where the right bumper started double clicking, I dealt with it for a little, however at $180 for a controller, it better be flawless & I didn’t have it but for like 2 weeks & it’s malfunctioning. I looked up online & that’s where I found my issue & others. I returned it to Best Buy & as normal they exchanged it for me with no fuss. So far the new one is working correctly, seems the face buttons need to be pressed with conviction, however the entire controller works, the craftsmanship & functionality is great & this could be the greatest product ever, if Microsoft can just fix the software & hardware issues. It’s crazy how all over the place the quality control is. If this controller goes south, I will be looking to get a refund & just buy a good battery charger & battery setup for my plain jane Xbox controller & call it a day, that controller still works great

    the paddles are really nice to keep action on right thumbstick. only reason one less star is the controller is too small. since the original xbox I have not found a controller that fits in my large hands. controller is very solid and customizable.

    I've had other Elite Series 2 controllers and they all broke fairly quickly, so i bought this as a replacement. It's great so far, but if it breaks quickly again I'll update my review

    This is easily the best controller for XBOX or PC gaming as far as customization and control of button mapping down to how the stick respond. I have been using these over the after market ones since the first generation. There is a little "adjustment" period coming from the first generation but once you feel out what you want it makes it super easy to fine tune your settings. Want to try a new confing make a new one from your roiginal have have the security to switch back if you don't like it with the multiple configs. Map a few games and load them in and out with the tools. The newer shift feature is awesome to map multiple buttons to the same set. There is the issue with stick drift after the manufacturer's warranty but the tech support or best buy protection makes it well worth the cost. Buying this full price with the protection plan is still cheaper than an after market that only has a 30 day warranty.

    Amazing Controller feel and grip. Has a 3 step Variable trigger throw for ease of use and sub-second timing for where it counts. Wireless and Wired, comes with a cery nice controller color matched cable. This is just an awesome controller all around. REMEMBER buying this controller only is the controller itself. The paddles, different height thumbsticks, and D-pad change outs ARE NOT INCLUDED. So after purchasing i highly recommend buying a elite controller kit online. Found one that was a perfect paint match for the red controller.

    My son in law loves it. The separate case that it sits in charges the controller and it has different knobs and buttons to change out.

    These are great controllers. The battery life is awesome, i do get about 40hrs of play time if not a little more. I like the customization of the controller, fully mapping buttons yo my preference and has also definitely made my gaming experience much better. The only con to this controller is the price but they last do much longer. I currently have 3 of them, 1 for each of my consoles and my oldest one is around 5-6 years old and still no issues. I woulf definitely recommend even if have to save up a little longer for it.

    Great remote this one is actually worth the money. I’m going to go buy one more even though my warranty was accidentally cancelled. it’s all good because if I hadn’t dropped it Hella hard running to get the dog trying to get my food I’d still be gaming still. Even After drop still no stick drift only issue was lt trigger damage won’t work on tier 3 sensitivity still works not perfect. I don’t know the difference from this and the core but I know I like this specific remote please keep this one in stock Best Buy

    Great controller. This version is supposed to have fixed the stick drift issue as well. So far, no problems with it and it works great. The only thing is it doesn’t come with all of the accessories.

    I bought this one after my fist Elite Series 2 started suffering from runaway thumbstick and unresponsive right bumper after 2 years of steady use. Since i already had all the additional accessories from my first controller, there was no need to buy the full set again. I would give this controller 5 stars, but it’s known to suffer from a limited lifespan. Other than that, the feel and performace of the buttons and paddles are still my choice compared to other controllers.

    Really nice to use, even without the additional back paddles. Only real flaw is there isn't a dedicated capture button. Would recommend if you can get it $30+ off.

    I use this controller just about every day. The controller is well built and has not had any problems so far. The customization you can do to this controller with such ease is impressive and give you a whole different experience with first person shooters. I recommend this controller to anyone who wants a well built user friendly controller.

    This product delivers on all its promises. I love the rubber grips and the back paddles. It is just a really solid controller and I really like playing with it.
